Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Vancouver Whitecaps FC to score. At the same time, Philadelphia Union does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Philadelphia Union is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 8' The referee shows Vancouver Whitecaps FC player a card on 8.
- 13' Vancouver Whitecaps FC is showing some good football. However, Vancouver Whitecaps FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 18' Goal! Mathias Laborda scores his 10 goal in 276 matches.

- 24' Goal! Emmanuel Sabbi scores his 13 goal in 428 matches.
- 29' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Tai Baribo suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' What a strike from Thomas Muller! The score is 3-0.
- 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

- 62' It is a substitution in Philadelphia Union team. Indiana Vassilev is replaced by Bruno Damiani on 62 minute.
